Why CoinPanda Might Not Be As Safe As You Think
CoinPanda is marketed as an easy solution for crypto tax reporting, but is it truly risk-free? This article will uncover the hidden risks of relying on CoinPanda for tax compliance.
1. No Accountability for Errors—Who Fixes a Wrong Tax Report?
- CoinPanda does not verify accuracy, meaning users bear full responsibility for mistakes.
- If you overpay taxes due to incorrect calculations, CoinPanda does not reimburse you.
- An accountant ensures correct tax filings and accountability in case of discrepancies.
2. No Legal Support if the CRA Audits You
If the CRA audits your crypto taxes, will CoinPanda defend you?
- No. The software cannot provide legal representation or respond to CRA inquiries.
- A tax accountant represents you in case of audits, ensuring compliance and protecting your finances.
3. Risk of Data Loss if CoinPanda Shuts Down
- If CoinPanda discontinues its services, you may lose past tax reports.
- The CRA requires six years of record-keeping, and software platforms are not responsible for storing your tax data.
- An accountant keeps your tax history secure, preventing risks of data loss.
Conclusion: Why CoinPanda May Be a Risky Choice for Crypto Investors
While CoinPanda provides basic automation, it lacks the expertise, compliance assurance, and audit protection that a professional accountant offers.
